A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

has a head-on elastic collision with a 40.0 gram block that is initially at rest. Since the collision is head-on, all velocities lie along the same line, both before and after the collision.(a) What is the speed of the 20.0 gram block after the collision?(b) What is the speed of the 40.0 gram block after the collision?

Answer:

a) v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}

b) v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, m'=0.02\kg

velocity of the lighter block, u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the heavier block, m=0.04\ kg

velocity of the heavier block, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v

where:

v'= final velocity of the lighter block

v= final velocity of the heavier block

m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v

m'(u'-v')=m.v ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2

m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

v=u'+v' .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')

\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}

\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}

v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1} (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v+u')=m.v

2m'.u'=(m-m')v

2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v

v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

A rocket sled with an initial mass of 3 metric tons, invluding 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At t=0, the sol
ELEN [110]

Answer:

v = 719.2 m / s and     a = 83.33 m / s²

Explanation:

This is a rocket propulsion system where the system is made up of the rocket plus the ejected mass, where the final velocity is

           v - v₀ = v_{e} ln (M₀ / M)

where v₀ is the initial velocity, v_{e} the velocity of the gases with respect to the rocket and M₀ and M the initial and final masses of the rocket

In this case, if fuel burns at 75 kg / s, we can calculate the fuel burned for the 10 s

            m_fuel = 75 10

            m_fuel = 750 kg

As the rocket initially had a mass of 3000 kg including 1000 kg of fuel, there are still 250 kg, so the mass of the rocket minus the fuel burned is

              M = 3000 -750 = 2250 kg

let's calculate

            v - 0 = 2500 ln (3000/2250)

            v = 719.2 m / s

To calculate the acceleration, let's use the concept of the rocket thrust, which is the force of the gases on it. In the case of the rocket, it is

             Push = v_{e} dM / dt

let's calculate

             Push = 2500  75

             Push = 187500 N

            If we use Newton's second law

             F = m a

             a = F / m

let's calculate

              a = 187500/2250

              a = 83.33 m / s²

A worker uses a cart to move a load of bricks weighing 680 N a distance of 10 m across a parking lot.
NNADVOKAT [17]
When you are finding work, the easiest way is to use the formula.

W = F*D

Where F is the force and D is the distance. Simply take the constant force of 209N and multiply it by the distance of 10m. Which will give you 2090J
